Chateau de Versailles

One of the most evocative castles has to be Versailles, just outside the city of Paris. Since the inception of this small hunting castle in the 17th century, the castle has shown greater grandeur and has become more pompous with every improvement.

As you wander through the many rooms and corridors, culminating in the beautiful Hall of Mirrors, you can imagine everything that must have happened during a life at court.
